Understanding Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in or around the anus and rectum that can cause discomfort, itching, and bleeding.
While common—especially among older adults—hemorrhoids can significantly impact your quality of life if not managed properly. Dr. Sindhu Abraham provides compassionate evaluation and effective treatment options, including hemorrhoid banding, to help you find lasting relief.
Know When It’s Time to See a Specialist
Recognizing the Signs
What to Notice?
Hemorrhoids can present with mild to severe symptoms. Understanding these signs early can prevent worsening discomfort or complications.
How is it managed?
Mild hemorrhoids often improve with lifestyle changes such as increased fiber intake, sitz baths, or topical treatments. For persistent or painful internal hemorrhoids, Dr. Abraham offers hemorrhoid banding—a quick, minimally invasive outpatient procedure that safely removes the swollen tissue for long-term relief.
Signs
- Rectal pain or discomfort, especially when sitting
- Itching or irritation around the anus
- Bright red blood after a bowel movement
- Swelling or a lump near the anus
- Persistent discomfort that doesn’t improve with home care

What Are the Risks?
While hemorrhoids themselves are rarely dangerous, untreated or severe cases can lead to complications such as chronic bleeding, anemia, or thrombosed hemorrhoids (painful clots). In rare instances, persistent rectal bleeding could mask more serious conditions like colorectal cancer—evaluation by a gastroenterologist is essential. Hemorrhoid banding is generally safe, but minor risks include temporary discomfort, mild bleeding, or rare infection.
